Cookie Policy
How pbw.life handles cookies and similar technologies
The Dutch version is canonical; this English version is a translation.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website can store on your device. They are often used to remember preferences, keep you logged in, or track visitors for advertising. Under the GDPR and the Dutch Telecommunications Act, non-essential cookies require your prior consent.
Our approach: no tracking
pbw.life sets no tracking cookies andno marketing or advertising cookies. That is also why you won't see a cookie-consent banner on this site: there is no non-essential cookie for which we would need to ask consent.
Cookieless analytics (Plausible)
For anonymous, aggregated visitor statistics we usePlausible Analytics. Plausible is a cookieless, GDPR-friendly analytics service: it sets no cookies, uses no persistent identifiers, and processes no personal data. It does not collect data across devices or websites and sells nothing to third parties. Plausible is hosted in the EU.
Error monitoring (Sentry)
In the logged-in apps (not on this marketing site) we useSentryto find out when something breaks. Sentry is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt) and receives a technical report of the failure - never your name, e-mail address or booking contents.
Browser-side error reporting is its own choice in the consent banner, separate from usage statistics: you can allow error monitoring and decline statistics, or the other way round. Decline it and nothing is sent from your device. Sentry's session-replay feature follows that same choice, and it records at most the moments leading up to an error - never a whole visit, with page text and images masked.
Errors that happen on our own servers are reported regardless of your choice. Nothing is stored on or read from your device in that case, so the cookie rules do not apply; we do it on the basis of legitimate interest, and you can object - see thePrivacy Policy.
Strictly necessary cookies
This marketing site (pbw.life) is a static website with no login and sets no cookies at all - not even strictly necessary ones. Should we introduce a strictly necessary cookie in the future (for example, to remember a deliberate choice you made), we will update the table below. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement by law.
Functional storage that is not a cookie
Cookies are not the only way to store data on your device, and article 11.7a of the Dutch Telecommunications Act covers storing and reading in general. For completeness: the pricing section of this site and the chat with the AI assistant use sessionStorage - not a cookie, and the data disappears the moment you close the tab.
| Key | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
pbw_pricing_cycle | Remembers whether you are viewing monthly or yearly prices, so your choice does not jump back. | Until you close the tab |
pbw_pricing_cycle_viewed | Stops a single anonymous measurement from being counted again on every page load. | Until you close the tab |
pbw_assistant_session | Random conversation number, so the AI assistant knows your earlier questions in the same chat. Created only when you use the chat. | Until you close the tab |
pbw_assistant_log | The text of the conversation, so the chat stays visible when you open another page. Stays in your browser. | Until you close the tab |
The pricing keys hold nothing but your own display preference and are never sent anywhere. The chat keys exist only when you use the chat yourself: the conversation number travels with your messages to the assistant, the conversation text stays in your browser. None of these keys can be linked to you as a person. They are strictly necessary for a feature you are actively using and are therefore exempt from the consent requirement - which is why you still see no consent banner. You can clear them by closing the tab or through your browser's storage settings.
| Cookie | Purpose | Retention |

| No cookies in use on this site. | ||
Managing cookies
Because we set no cookies, there is nothing you need to do. You can always manage or delete cookies, and the sessionStorage keys listed above, in your browser settings. To opt out of Plausible measurement you can use a tracker blocker or enable "Do Not Track"; Plausible processes no personal data in any case.
Logged-in app environments
The logged-in parts of the platform (for example companies.pbw.life and the booking pages) use Auth0 for authentication, which may use strictly necessary session technologies to keep you signed in. Those sit outside this site and are described in the cookie policy of the app itself, linked at the bottom of the app.
